Pentium 4417U vs PRO A8-8600B benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 4417U is faster than the PRO A8-8600B. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the PRO A8-8600B in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Pentium 4417U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
